Abstract
Retiming a circuit design can include determining whether or not an initial value specified for a candidate register can be removed based on an input logic cone to the candidate register and an output logic cone from the candidate register. The candidate register is a register in a critical path in the circuit design. The candidate register can be retimed into a retimed register in response to determining that the initial value specified for the candidate register can be removed. A new initial value for the retimed register can be derived based on initial values of registers in a logic cone of the retimed register, and the new initial value can be assigned to the retimed register.
